DVD Reviews of Drop Zone
DVD Review: A Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie gives a look at the world of sky diving. It is an action crime drama with action, violence, humor, adventure, and a since of excitement that one can only get by taking that long step from a perfectly good airplane into the open sky. Snipes and Yancy Butler at their best!DVD Review: Drop Zone
Summary: 4 Stars
Although you may hear some complaints over some of Wesley Snipe's recent movies, this one made in 1994 is fairly good. This is partly do to a decent story, cast, and camera work. The directing keeps it tight and focused. The music doesn't date the film badly as I have often seen as a movie hits around ten to twenty years. Fans of skydiving should especially appreciate the numerous jump scenes, including the annual show in Washington D.C. to boot. The story focuses around a skydiving team hijacking a 747 at 38,000 feet to grab a computer hacker being escorted by US Marshals. Later they are tracked and pursued by Snipe's as they try to pull off a heist of data from the DEA computers by doing a jump onto the building. Recommended for family members over twelve for the most part. I am not sure why this has an R rating. There are a couple scenes where people are killed graphically. Good quality DVD with above average replayability. If you enjoyed this be sure to catch "US Marshals", "Passenger 57", and "Art of War".DVD Review: SKYDIVING AND THEN SOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
Nope! you sure couldn't get me up there.
Love to watch other people with nerve enough to go up.
U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip is in trouble. He has lost his prisoner. [a twit!] How it was done is a bit of a mystery.
Another mystery is who is the best at sky-diving and where is he? Oh I love this - he has to track down the cadre of techno terrorists.
How and why was this heist planned?
Well second best at sky-diving turns out to be female with a record. She decides to bargain with Pete. She wants to take her team out of her parole officers zone.
The action starts heating up from there. I especially liked the ability to drop onto a specified area. Darn good characters to do it.
The kidnapped [twit] computer expert spent most of his time squeeling in the air. Even I wanted to bump him off.
DROP ZONE fulfilled the expectations of entertainment - can't fault it there. Was never hyped up as a classic. Just good entertainment.
Definitely Recommend - for action - color - gorgeous sky work - decent characters [whatever] - another personal choice movie.

I really like wesley snipes. I like action movies. I think he a great actorDVD Review: Not Very Real, But Good Fun
Summary: 3 Stars
Let's face it, this was a fun movie and I liked it. I enjoy most flicks with Wesley Snipes in 'em. And, although a novice, I love skydiving. That was the fun part. From Yancy dumping Snipes from the Porter sans parachute to their makeshift tandem nighttime landing on a rooftop, it was ridiculously fun in a silly way. Imagine becoming skilled enough to jump in a major big-way in what, two weeks' time? Great. And the absurdity of the skydivers being anything but friendly and open to a "whuffo" (a ground-grabbing outsider) made for a top-order, unimagineable fight scene. Great stuff. I just hope that when my main canopy snivels and I can't break away, I make out as well as their jumping buddy... i.e., live through the experience. Blue Skies and Fair Winds! Watch the movie, then jump from a perfectly good airplane from 2 & 1/2 miles up.
